Cultural Tip
In Italy, gamers often differentiate between ‘PC’, ‘console’ and ‘mobile’ when talking about platforms. The preposition ‘su’ is preferred over ‘in’ because you’re literally “on” a device. In informal chat you might drop the preposition and say ‘Che piattaforma giochi?’, but the full form sounds more polished and is safe for any audience, including language‑learning apps like Speeek.
